Oh no.....
I hope you're joking. I doubt he was that interested in that war. (After all, the Japanese government had clamped down strongly on his religion...) He went rural at the time to get away from the administration hassles that came with the war, did he not?
I recall reading that he felt intense guilt that he had taught people how to fight for that war.
Anyhow, the people who fight in modern wars are pretty much children.
Joke or not, I think your comment is going to make a lot of people angry here. Giving you th benefit of the doubt, I won't bother pointing out the flaws I see with it.

good luck,
andrew
